Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski have started all but three premier league games as the centre-backs together. Vitaliy Mykolenko is the first choice left back when fit while Jordan Pickford remains steadfast in goals with 10 clean sheets this season.<\/p>\n<p>The right-back position has recently had a high level of rotation with James Patterson, Seamus Coleman, Ben Godfrey, and Ashley Young all seeing minutes over the last two games.<\/p>\n<p>After poor performances from Amadou Onana and James Garner in the beating to Chelsea, rotation at the centre midfield position was needed. Andre Gomes and Idrissa Gueye were chosen for the match against Nottingham Forest. Dwight McNeil and Jack Harrison provided support on the flanks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/29\/everton-777-partners\/\" target=\"_self\">Who Are 777 Partners? Everton\u2019s Potential New Owners And Why They Might Not Pass The \u2018Fit And Proper\u2019 Test<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Up top Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned to the starting lineup after an injury kept him out of the squad last match. Abdoulaye Doucour\u00e9 was in support, playing the second striker role.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch:\u00a0<\/strong>The Domino Effect Ruining Football<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE DOMINO EFFECT RUINING FOOTBALL\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fNQxiqia1Vo?start=20&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Everton\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>The 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest means Everton are five points clear of relegation with six games remaining.<\/p>\n<p>This match will be the Toffees&#8217; toughest until the season ends. Likely to have less than 40% possession, Gueye will be a key piece in how this match pans out. His midfield partner will probably be Onana, to provide some steel in what will be a physical match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/04\/evertons-run-home-to-avoid-relegation\/\" target=\"_self\">Fate Is In Their Hands: Everton&#8217;s Run Home To Avoid Relegation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Expect DCL to be isolated up front, looking to hold up play for oncoming wingers. Doucoure will drop into the midfield to turn the formation into 4-5-1.<\/p>\n<p>Everton will pick their spots when they press but often go all out when they do. They rank third in the league for tackles made in their attacking third. This is often their best way to create chances.<\/p>\n<h3>Everton Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Nathan Patterson has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evertonfc.com\/teams\/injuries-and-suspensions\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruled out<\/a> for the season because of a hamstring injury. Coleman was an unused sub last time out against Forest because of a knock received against Chelsea and will miss this match. Arnaut Danjuma will likely return to the squad after three months on the sideline recovering from an ankle injury. Manager Sean Dyche is hopeful that Calvert-Lewin will be fit to suit up for the derby.<\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;180457&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Everton\u2019s Predicted Line Up<\/h3>\n<p>GK: Jordan Pickford<\/p>\n<p>RB: Ben Godfrey<\/p>\n<p>CB: James Tarkowski<\/p>\n<p>CB: Jarrad Branthwaite<\/p>\n<p>LB: Vitaliy Mykolenko<\/p>\n<p>CM: Amadou Onana<\/p>\n<p>CM: Idrissa Gueye<\/p>\n<p>CAM: Abdoulaye Doucoure<\/p>\n<p>LM: Dwight McNeil<\/p>\n<p>RM: Jack Harrison<\/p>\n<p>ST: Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everton host Liverpool in this season\u2019s second Merseyside derby.
